Here's the breakdown of today:
-arrived at school an hour before school started
-added significantly to lesson plan
-quickly learned that students do NOT know how to multiply/divide by powers of 10 (10, 100, 1,000, etc.)
-also learned that students do NOT know how to convert units of measure (e.g., feet to yards, inches to feet, etc.)
-had a decent morning
-got a lot done & relaxed a bit at lunch (though i forgot to bring food)
-after lunch: another girl fight... oy!
-had to watch 2 homerooms in fight's aftermath
-a math-challenged student of mine came in for extra help during my prep!! :)
-rest of day was mellow and enjoyable
-tonight: finishing this quarter's grades (they're due tomorrow)
-tonight: dinner w/ the new man, then my students' band concert!
-only 2 more teaching days left (Friday is a reward day)
yay!

I'm glad you had a good day. I'm working with the GED "kids," and last night they spent 2-1/2 hours on decimals. THEY can't convert inches to feet (and vise versa), etc. Remind them to stay in school and not drop out. Remind them they will need these skills all throughout their lives. You are doing such good work. Keep it up!
